25/01/99 - OAKLAND ARENA, OAKLAND, CA

Review by Stones fans:
Bryan Adams were on fifteen minutes past schdule at 7:45pm. It was a three-piece band all in white, looking more like some sort of milk commercial... Well, Bryan was good, and he played for three quarters. The sound was rough on his opening song "Summer of '69", but it improved through the set. He did another 8 songs, and in case there are Bryan Adams fans who want to know what he played, I will list some sort of song names. I know this is not the real titles, as I am not a big Bryan Adams fan. Feel free to email about correct titles! The sngs were: 2). Back to you - 3). This time everything is all right - 4). I can't stop this thing we started - 5). It's only love - 6). ... like a knife - 7). Baby when you're down - 8). We're in heaven - 9). The only thing that looks good on you is me. Well, so much for Bryan Adams. We will have him all through California, so by that time I will probably know the real titles of his songs!

At 7:30 Bryan Adams and his band warmed up the crowd for an hour. They are essentially 3 white boys in white outfits. They look like the blonde surfer Beach Boys of old, and projected a squeaky clean-cut California image. Bryan Adams sang his hit, "We're in heaven," with you lying in my arms, not moving around the stage that much at all.

Setlist:
Back To You
This Time
Can't Stop This Thing We Started
It's Only Love
Cuts Like A Knife
When You're Gone
Heaven
The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You
